DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL (IF KNOWN) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

''Mission Vieja de la Purisima was founded by the Spanish on Decem

ber 8, 1787, by the Franciscan Father-President Lasuen and was under

the jurisdiction of the Presidio de Santa Barbara. The Mission was

destroyed by earthquake and accompanying floods on December 21, 1812,

and the subsequent rebuilding took place on a new location some five

miles away (the present site of La Purisima State Historic Park).

An accounting of the construction of various buildings can be

obtained from the Mission Records (Englehart: 1932) and the layout can

be generally divided into the enclosed quadrangle of the Mission Cloist

which includes the Chapel, and the military, secular, and Mission

buildings lying outside of the Cloister.

The main Cloister quadrangle was said to have been 400' square

and contained at the time of destruction a church 200* x 60' x 30' high

(Thompson 1889:30) and a series of rooms which included padres' quar

ters, a room for officials, barracks for unmarried Indian women, a

veranda on the main building, two vaulted granaries, a warehouse, and

at least 16 other rooms for storage and various uses. The military

occupied buildings which included barracks, a guardhouse, and five

houses with kitchens and patios for married soldiers. Besides these

secular buildings outside the Cloister were adobe houses for Indian

families, traditional Indian thatch houses for some 920 converts, the

pozoleva or kitchen, stone washing troughs, drinking fonts and vats,

two irrigation systems, a fettling or filtration house, a walled

garden 600' x 600", and a cemetery with 1,518 burials (Englehardt

1932). Almost all of these were destroyed or made uninhabitable by the

19|12 earthquake.Following the secularization of the Missions, the "Mission Vieja"

Rancho was granted to Joaquin and Jose Antonio Ezequil Carrillo in

1845. In 1874 the Lompoc Temperance Colony purchased the Rancho and

surveyed a one-mile square townsite in the middle of the Santa Ynez

valley. Within this fell the ruins of the mission site (see Photo

#3) .

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The Mission La Purisima Concepcion de Maria Santisima, founded

December 8, 1787/ was eleventh in the chain of twenty-one missions

founded by the Spanish on the California Coast. It belongs to the

beginnings of the historical period on the Pacific Coast and marks the

first permanent introduction of European culture to the Santa Ynez

valley.

The destruction of the Mission occurred in one day, December 21,

, when the earthquakes opened a crevass directly behind the mis

sion and the complex was buried in the resulting mud flow. This cir-

cumstance implys a wealth of material remains sealed under the fallen

adobe walls and is evidenced by the numerous discoveries of intact

tile floors and related artifacts (see No. 7 above; also Costello 1975

of No. 6) . There are only a few remaining vacant lots within the

Cloister section but these appear to be undisturbed to date.

Another significant aspect is that with the abrupt abandonment

of the original Mission and the development of a second complex at

the second La Purisima site (already excavated and reconstructed)

differences in artifacts, technology, and construction tecnhiques

could be directly attributable to this specific break in time. This

information could prove invaluable in providing a chronological se

quence applicable to the entire Spanish Mission system' in California.

DESCRIPTION (Continued)

The residential section of Lorapoc now covers approximately 90 per

cent of the original site area (see Photo #Jp . This development in

cludes streets, sidewalks, private homes, and a 50'-wide right-of-way

of the Southern Pacific Railroad. In 1960 a city street was extended

to cut through the Chapel ruins where the walls and tile floor were

found well preserved under the overburden from the earthquake destruc

tion. A limited salvage investigation was conducted by James Deetz of

the University of California, Santa Barbara, at this time and the site

was recorded as SBa 521.

An archaeological survey and historical investigation was con

ducted from November, 1974 - March, 1975, and included a surface sur

vey on two vacant lots lyiifig just outside of the boundary of the Mission

Cloister quadrangle. Surface collections included modern artifacts,

large quantities of old rocf>f tiles and ladvillos (floor tiles) typical

of Spanish period construction, and two sherds of Majolica whose

presence "at an archaeological site is one of the main criteria for

assigning Spanish Colonial to a site" (Barnes and May 1972:3). Indian

artifacts included utilized flint/chert, mano fragments, a portion of

a sandstone bowl, beads, and an abalone "pendant." Bones recovered

primarily evidenced modern butchering (Costello 1975).

The few remaining ruins are primarily centered around the Cloister

area located between "E" and "G" Streets in the block south of Locust

Avenue. Visable remains include the main Chapel entrance, a portion

of the adobe wall forming the SW corner of the Chapel, an as yet un

determined architectural foundation which may be the soldiers quarters,

portions of the aqueduct, and evidences of walls and ladrillo floors in

the railroad cut. Residents in the vicinity consistantly report en

countering wall foundations, tile floors, artifacts, and, in one case, several burials on their properties.
